Yesterday, my father told me that he attended a presentation in which 15
some videos were played. Points were explained with the help of audio. The
presentation also contained buttons on each page to perform extra activities.
How can we do this in PowerPoint?
Yes, we can add audio and video to PowerPoint presentations. We can also add
buttons on slides to perform extra activities.
Have you ever watched a Charlie Chaplin movie? And a Harry Potter movie? What do you
think is the major difference between the Charlie Chaplin movie and the Harry Potter
movie?
Yes, a Charlie Chaplin movie does not have any dialogues. It only has background music. So,
at times, it is difficult to understand what the artist is trying to convey. But in a Harry
Potter movie, it is easier to understand the movie with the help of dialogues. Visual effects
such as movie clips and sound effects such as dialogues and sounds, make a presentation
interesting. This is just like watching a movie. Did you know that you can insert Audio and
Video files in a presentation? Come, let us find out how.
Inserting Audio and Video Files
In PowerPoint, you can easily insert your sound recordings, movie clips, etc. Adding different
types of media to a PowerPoint presentation, makes it more attractive and presentable.
PowerPoint allows you to add videos from the Internet as well as videos stored on your computer.
It also allows you to insert audio from your computer as well as record your own voice. Inserted
media files can help you to keep your audience engaged in your presentation.
